WATERLOO TEETH: A 200 YEAR HISTORY

LAKE LANIER SMILES,
BUFORD DENTIST

200 years ago, teeth in the dentures were acquired from dead
soldiers in wars. Dentists in those days tried other sources like Bone and
Ivory. But as they don't have enamel so they are weak and rotten fast. Dentists
also tried porcelain teeth but they make grating noise on chewing and they
appear too white and easy to break. In 1815 the Battle of Waterloo ended
with about 50,000 soldiers dead. The teeth came from these soldiers created a
big supply of teeth for dentists to use in their patients dentures. That's how
the name came "Waterloo teeth". It is very unfortunate but patients
and dentists benefited from this teeth bonanza as at that time there is a lack
of supply of the real human teeth and there was a big demand for them.

After the battle, battlefield Scavengers are very busy collecting
valuables in the soldier’s uniforms but they expertise in pulling the front
teeth from the dead bodies. This act is not new but the scale of this made it different.
Even patients like the teeth from battlefield as they are from healthy young
man than diseased corpses.

Don't worry all the teeth now a days are made from Plastic.

shape and shade of teeth to make the dentures more natural and life like
